why do 75 percent of this forum seem to think pep is a measurement for am power!dont you guys know if you take any radio and strap a capacitor to the back and run it into a meter it will look good!evry forum i go to everything is in pep pep pep there is no pep! average power anyone? |

Well i guess 3 watts out might get 10 watts SSB. Is that what you mean. 3 watts out AM might get you 10 watts out on sideband! But a lot of people read swr and modulation while talking on sideband!! You Cant measure swr and modulation on sideband But you can read am units as of 3 watts out can prouduce 8 to 10 watts on ssb. Peak Average Reading is just what says on a good watt meter...

I have to chime in Hal for one a Stoner PRO 40 has a SWR meter that reads SSB it shows a + and - reading next as a rule of thumb SSB is 3 times am power say 6 watts am would equal 18 watts PEP ssb  |

Peak envelope power
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peak envelope power is the average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one radio frequency cycle at the crest of the modulation envelope, under normal operating conditions.
PEP was often used in non-broadcast amplitude modulation (AM) applications because it most accurately described the potential of mobile transmitters to interfere with each other. Its use is now somewhat deprecated, with the average transmitter power output (or sometimes effective radiated power) now typically being preferred.
Or do a google search for: (Peak Envelop Power)
